Capital allocation priorities

Consistently make use of cash on our balance sheet to facilitate underwritten transactions;The strength of our balance sheet is a competitive advantage.

Priority Discussion

1. Grow dividends with earnings Highly valued return of cash to shareholders

2. Hold fully-diluted shares flat Offset dilution from management stock options through share buybacks

3. Acquisitions Accelerate top-line growth and leverage the model

4. Share buy-backs Growth initiatives are a higher priority at this time

5. Pay down debt Only if better economic returns are not available

(1) Priorities for cash utilization after operating CAPEX needs have been met.16
